Market suggestion

Pros

• The workshop is nearby a main road, easily accessible by all means of transportation
• Parking is available on-spot

Cons

• May not be interesting for everyone (fashion and painting a scarf may not be appealing to men)
• Chang is sometimes not present
• Needs an overnight stay in Phrae

• Currently no alternative for this activity
• If classes are done in the morning clients could get their finished product in the evening of the same day, or in the morning the next day

Alerts

• Sakchira Wiengkao is sometimes busy or has to go lecture someplace else in Thailand, in this case his assistant P. Oo who has worked with him from the beginning will do the workshop
• This is an Easia signature activity, however, sometimes there are groups of students at the workshop as well. This does not affect our activity, students would spend time on a different activity in another area of the workshop

Important information

• The workshop is only painting the design, the scarf will be finalized (fix colors, sew borders, put in nice package) by the workshop later and sent to the hotel the following day, or by courier service to hotel/office
